    Ken:

    Sharp, with nice display of iridescence, well exposed.

    Wish he was a bit more turned our way, and cleaner water would be nice, but not to be at this location.

    Cheers

    Randy,

    Thanks very much for your comment, I have another with a better head angle, but I think the plumage is not as good

    As you say clean water is not an option here on the shore line the lake rises and falls by a considerable height throughout the year and as a result there is plenty of vegetation, good for the birds but not so good for us

    Ken, great close up of a Glossy, sharp, and you have exposed and brought out the colours superbly. Love the pose with the raised leg, and just a pity you didnt get the best angle.

    Another great looking African bird. I agree about the angle, but the IQ is really good
    and it seems a nice presentation of this bird.
